Fantasy Football Week 1
This is a little different then my normal stuff but I enjoy fantasy football (and football in general) and I think it’s worth posting, if just for my own sake.
This year I joined NARFFL reddit’s fantasy football league, I then promptly missed the draft.
When I remember the next day and logged in, the autodraft had picked me this (This is my current line-up,
substitue Tampa Bay with Knile Davis and Julian Edelman with Ronnie Hillman). This league awards 1 point per
reception.
For an auto-draft this wasn’t the worst thing ever
Pros
- An amazing QB in Peyton Manning
- 1 decent rb in Ray Rice
- Good WR and TE depth (too many TEs)
Cons
- Monte Ball isn’t an RB2 or an RB anything, this is a serious problem
- I have way too many TEs and not enough RBs
- I have one ok running back (notice a pattern)
Before the Game
Trying to be smart I dropped the RB Knile Davis and picked up the Tampa Bay defense because they were playing the Jets. ( the Jets are my favorite team but it was worth taking the opportunityt
The First Game
This week went pretty well, Peyton Manning had a record setting game and Ray Rice and my WRs, TE and Kicked had solid performances. My favorite part was that Tampa Bay managed to lose to the Jets and they still put up more points than the Bronco’s D.
The only bad thing (and it’s a large bad thing) is that Monte Ball put up 2.4 points as it became evident that Denver really is making the game a running back by committee.
For Next Week
I need to fix my RB situation, I can probably pawn off Brandon Myers, the NYG Tight End.
